Greenacre Park, Midtown

Another one of the city's "vest pocket" hidden gems, Greenacre Park is a true urban oasis in the heart of Midtown. The peaceful scene is composed of plush evergreen plantings, walls of ivy, colorful seasonal flowers, and, of course, the dramatic 25-foot waterfall cascading down blocks of granite. Definitely not your typical city sight.
